openSUSE 10 Security Update : MozillaFirefox (MozillaFirefox-6495)

Description

This update brings the Mozilla Firefox browser to the 3.0.14 stable
release.

It also fixes various security issues: MFSA 2009-47 / CVE-2009-3069 /
CVE-2009-3070 / CVE-2009-3071 / CVE-2009-3072 / CVE-2009-3073 /
CVE-2009-30 / CVE-2009-3075: Mozilla developers and community members
identified and fixed several stability bugs in the browser engine used
in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these crashes
showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances and
we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be
exploited to run arbitrary code.

MFSA 2009-48 / CVE-2009-3076: Mozilla security researcher Jesse
Rudermanreported that when security modules were added or removed via
pkcs11.addmodule or pkcs11.deletemodule, the resulting dialog was not
sufficiently informative. Without sufficient warning, an attacker
could entice a victim to install a malicious PKCS11 module and affect
the cryptographic integrity of the victim

MFSA 2009-48 / CVE-2009-3076: Mozilla security researcher Jesse
Rudermanreported that when security modules were added or removed via
pkcs11.addmodule or pkcs11.deletemodule, the resulting dialog was not
sufficiently informative. Without sufficient warning, an attacker
could entice a victim to install a malicious PKCS11 module and affect
the cryptographic integrity of the victim's browser. Security
researcher Dan Kaminsky reported that this issue had not been fixed in
Firefox 3.0 and that under certain circumstances pkcs11 modules could
be installed from a remote location. Firefox 3.5 releases are not
affected.
MFSA 2009-49 / CVE-2009-3077: An anonymous security researcher, via
TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative, reported that the columns of a XUL
tree element could be manipulated in a particular way which would
leave a pointer owned by the column pointing to freed memory. An
attacker could potentially use this vulnerability to crash a victim's
browser and run arbitrary code on the victim's computer.
MFSA 2009-50 / CVE-2009-3078: Security researcher Juan Pablo Lopez
Yacubian reported that the default Windows font used to render the
locationbar and other text fields was improperly displaying certain
Unicode characters with tall line-height. In such cases the tall
line-height would cause the rest of the text in the input field to be
scrolled vertically out of view. An attacker could use this
vulnerability to prevent a user from seeing the URL of a malicious
site. Corrie Sloot also independently reported this issue to Mozilla.
MFSA 2009-51 / CVE-2009-3079: Mozilla security researcher moz_bug_r_a4
reported that the BrowserFeedWriter could be leveraged to run
JavaScript code from web content with elevated privileges. Using this
vulnerability, an attacker could construct an object containing
malicious JavaScript and cause the FeedWriter to process the object,
running the malicious code with chrome privileges. Thunderbird does
not support the BrowserFeedWriter object and is not vulnerable in its
default configuration. Thunderbird might be vulnerable if the user has
installed any add-on which adds a similarly implemented feature and
then enables JavaScript in mail messages. This is not the default
setting and we strongly discourage users from running JavaScript in
mail.
Issues fixed in the 3.0.13 release were: MFSA 2009-44 / CVE-2009-2654:
Security researcher Juan Pablo Lopez Yacubian reported that an
attacker could call window.open() on an invalid URL which looks
similar to a legitimate URL and then use document.write() to place
content within the new document, appearing to have come from the
spoofed location. Additionally, if the spoofed document was created by
a document with a valid SSL certificate, the SSL indicators would be
carried over into the spoofed document. An attacker could use these
issues to display misleading location and SSL information for a
malicious web page.
MFSA 2009-45 / CVE-2009-2662:The browser engine in Mozilla Firefox
before 3.0.13, and 3.5.x before 3.5.2, allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or
possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to the
TraceRecorder::snapshot function in js/src/jstracer.cpp, and
unspecified other vectors.
CVE-2009-2663 / MFSA 2009-45: libvorbis before r16182, as used in
Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.13 and 3.5.x before 3.5.2 and other
products, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of
service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute
arbitrary code via a crafted .ogg file.
CVE-2009-2664 / MFSA 2009-45: The js_watch_set function in
js/src/jsdbgapi.cpp in the JavaScript engine in Mozilla Firefox before
3.0.13, and 3.5.x before 3.5.2, allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) or possibly
execute arbitrary code via a crafted .js file, related to a 'memory
safety bug."
